Subsidy: We Won’t Shelve Strike, NLC Insists

Mohammed Shosanya

The Nigeria Labour Congress has said it is not going back on its proposed industrial action on Wednesday, unless the Federal Government and by extension the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation Limited NNPCL does the needful by returning to status quo.

NLC insisted on the position in a statement by Benson Upah, Head of Information and Public Affairs on Sunday.

The workers body reaction came on the heels of front page of a national newspaper, June 4th, 2023 entitled NLC Divided as North, South-West Chapters May Shun Planned Strike .

It said the gesture is laughable and desperate attempt by enemies of the people to polarise Nigeria Labour Congress along ethnic or regional lines on an issue with a national spread.

Upah,said this scenario only plays in their imagination as Nigeria Labour Congress continues to be the biggest pan-Nigerian organisation united by a common vision/ mission and shared national values.

“On the looming strike action, we want to assure that all the affiliate unions of the Congress stand together with an unshakeable resolve to prosecute, come Wednesday, except the NNPC and Government do the needful.

“Whereas, primordial sentiments such as religion, region or ethnicity may be refuge for some, at the Nigeria Labour Congress, they have no place. What counts for us are issues such as the mindless and criminal increase in the pump price of pms whose burden will be borne by the already impoverished communities of the poor across Nigeria,” Labour stated.

NLC said the burden of this malevolent policy will not be borne by other segments of the country to the exclusion of the North or South- West. hence, there is no reason for these regions to back out of the strike.

“We do not know from where ThisDay got their story. However, if this is their way of making up for the gaps in their relationship with the new entities in power, we would say, it is rather excessive! the organised Labour union noted.
